About the Book:
“A delightful contribution to islomania;
you need to read this book!”
—Thurston Clarke, New York Times bestselling author,
Searching for Paradise: A Grand Tour of the World's Unspoiled Islands
Who hasn't dreamed of creating a new life by
escaping to a paradise island?
The author did just that and almost didn't live
to tell about it. Midlife Monkeylala is the true story of a
teacher's wacky adventures on the remote island of Roatan, Honduras,
in the early 1990s before modernization.
Edwina Ann Doyle fuses a fascinating treasure
trove of history and culture with life-threatening mishaps and local
tragedies. Descriptions of school fiascos, quirky villagers, and
misadventures of Miss Winnie's Fishing Folly are humorous. The
author's growth from self-indulgent outsider to compassionate champion
of indigent islanders is heartwarming. Doyle returned to Roatan twenty
years later to resume learning about the true nature of paradise.
Edwina Ann Doyle is a writer and retired
teacher who lives in Lexington, Kentucky and Plantation, Florida.
